我走到屋子靠山的那一侧，

I go to the mountain side

去砍掉几株小树，

of the house to cut saplings,

想清出一条视线，

and clear a view to snow

好望见山上的积雪。

on the mountain. But when I look up,

saw in hand, I see a nest clutched in

可当我举着锯子

the uppermost branches.

抬头望去，

看见一只鸟巢

I don't cut that one.

紧紧攀附在最高的枝梢。

I don't cut the others either.

那棵我不砍。

Suddenly, in every tree,

别的，也不砍了。

an unseen nest

where a mountain

忽然间，每一棵树里

would be.

都藏着一只看不见的巢——

在那原本

该是山的地方。
